WREN began in 1994 with a program that supported 12 women participants in their dreams of business ownership. By the spring of 1995, these WREN pioneers were operating their own enterprises. Encouraged by the success of this pilot project, we began building what we refer to as the 'WREN Community'. Today, WREN has nearly 1,200 members, more than half of whom own their own businesses, men and women living in New Hampshire and beyond, who benefit from and support WREN's many initiatives and resources. Our work connects people with one another, offers learning opportunities, creates and supports markets for entrepreneurs and provides access to resources many couldn't afford on their own.

WREN provides a place for inter-generational community collaboration, education, classes, workshop and networking events. Members can work on their businesses and projects while learning new, creative skills through workshops, mentorship, events and a peer learning environment. A non-profit member-driven community space in Bethlehem and Berlin for makers, artists, tinkerers, producers, entrepreneurs and DIY'ers to inspire, create, and connect.
